I saw you staring at each other.
I saw your eyes begin to glow.
An I could tell you once were lovers.
You ain't hidin' nothing that I don't know.
Chorus
There's an old flame buring in your eyes that tears can't drown and make-up
can't disguise.
Now that old flame might not be stronger, but it's been burnin' longer than
any spark I might have started in your eyes.
You said it ended when he left you.
You say your love for me is strong.
But those old mem'ries still upset you.
And Imight be a mem'ry before too long.
Chorus
There's an old flame burning in your eyes that tears
Alabama (1980)
I saw you starin' at each other
I saw your eyes begin to glow
And I could tell you once were lovers
But you ain't hidin' nothin' that I don't know.

There's an old flame burnin' in your eyes
That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
Now that old flame might not be stronger
But it's been burnin' longer
Than any spark I might have started in your eyes.

You said it ended when he left you
You say your love for me is strong
But those old memories still upset you
Well, I might be a memory before too long.

'Cause there's an old flame burnin' in your eyes
That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
Now that old flame might not be stronger
But it's been burnin' longer
Than any spark I might have started in your eyes.

There's an old flame burnin' in your eyes
That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
Now that old flame might not be stronger
But it's been burnin' longer...
